Job completed for Allison K. - West Milford, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: October 23, 2025

Location: West Milford, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Allison K. in West Milford, NJ dealt with significant water damage in her basement after a burst pipe led to widespread flooding. Although the basement was not finished, it had tile flooring and stored furniture that were quickly impacted by the sudden water intrusion. Our water damage restoration team in West Milford, NJ responded promptly with water extraction, antimicrobial treatment, and moisture detection along baseplates and porous materials. Furniture was moved and inspected for water damage, and salvageable items were cleaned and relocated to a dry area. The burst pipe in West Milford, NJ saturated grout lines and created pooling around storage zones, requiring a focused drying effort.

The homeowner’s insurance covered the cleanup and drying process, including the cost of removing residual moisture from the tile surface and preventing microbial growth on substructures. Our technicians in West Milford, NJ deployed commercial dehumidifiers and air movers to thoroughly dry the space and prevent structural damage. Moisture mapping confirmed the extent of water spread, especially in corners and beneath furnishings. The flooded basement in West Milford, NJ was documented with photos, readings, and daily progress updates for insurance purposes. This incident reinforces the importance of rapid response to burst pipe water damage, even in unfinished basements with hard surface flooring.
